Art Auction Season 2022 Artist Submission

The Crocker Art Museum is looking for artists to submit works for the upcoming Art Auction Season. Last year’s virtual and in-person auctions drew an incredible audience of more than 3 million viewers and 1,000+ bidders from around the world.

The Crocker is looking for art submissions for both the Art Auction and Big Names, Small Art (BNSA).

Art Auction features a silent auction open to a global audience on Bidsquare, as well as an in-person Live Auction Event. Artists whose works are selected will be included in a special exhibition at the Crocker—on view May 26 to June 4, 2022. Artists may choose to keep 50% of the proceeds from the sale of their work or donate 100% of the sale to the Museum. All artists donating 100% will receive recognition of the donation in the Art Auction catalogue and a complimentary Family level membership.

Big Names Small Art (BNSA) draws a large audience of new and seasoned art collectors. The event features a silent auction of small-scale pieces (all 12x12 inches or less). Each bid begins at $25. All proceeds from BNSA sales benefit the Crocker’s education programs and exhibitions.

The silent auction and BNSA will be held virtually on Bidsquare, with bidding scheduled to open in mid-May and to close the weekend of June 4-5. Live Art Auction Event at the Museum on Saturday, June 4.
